Subject: [PATCH 3/4] mremap: don't do uneccesary checks if new_len ==
	old_len

The "new_len > old_len" branch in vma_to_resize() looks very confusing.
It only covers the VM_DONTEXPAND/pgoff checks but everything below is
equally unneeded if new_len == old_len.

Change this code to return if "new_len == old_len", new_len < old_len
is not possible, otherwise the code below is wrong anyway.
